C-CHANGE Program
Climate Change, Humans, and Nature in the Global Environment: C-CHANGE is a National Science Foundation IGERT graduate education program in interdisciplinary climate change studies for Ph.D. students in the social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering interested in understanding the human causes and consequences of climate change and in developing strategies for responding to these changes. The program is a collaboration among:
- University of Kansas (KU) Institute for Policy & Social Research (IPSR)
- KU Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS)
- KU Biodiversity Institute (BI)
- Haskell Indian Nations University
- National Autonomous University of Mexico
- University of Copenhagen
Students wishing to pursue a graduate certificate in Global Climate Change Studies take 12 hours of graduate credit from a menu of new and existing courses at the University of Kansas in three areas:
- climate change and physical, biological, and human systems
- climate change history, law, ethics, and policy
- remote sensing techniques in physical, biological, and social science and engineering to study climate-related phenomena
Students who are selected for this program will have an opportunity to spend two summers working on climate change projects in rural, urban, and indigenous communities in the US and abroad and with government agencies and NGOs in science policy internships. Students also will have an opportunity to conduct field research on the interaction of human and natural systems in climate change in the US, Mexico, and Greenland. For further information, contact Joane Nagel (nagel@ku.edu), Sociology and director of IPSR’s Center for Research on Global Change.
